I have been planning to start a blog for a long time. But other things kept getting in the way and I just didn't seem to have time to think about what I wanted to blog about.
Recently, I realized that while there are many things I would enjoy blogging about, the one subject that I really should blog about is my lack of available time to blog. So, we will see where this goes.
In reality there are only 16 hours in a day (that's assuming you get the recommended eight hours of sleep which I attempt to do these days). I am amazed at how quickly my 16 hours are used up. I like to think I have a handle on time management issues. I spend a few minutes every day planning out that day or the following day and even assign blocks of time for each task I have assigned myself. But somehow either the end of the day arrives and I have not completed my tasks or I completely run out of energy before my tasks are completed.
The other issue I deal with sometimes is the fact that I don't really want to do some of tasks on my To Do List. It's amazing how long some tasks stay on the To Do List - months sometimes years. Apparently, that task is not really very important to me, even though I keep telling myself it is important.
So, my challenge, beginning tomorrow, is to be more realistic in the goals I set for myself (tasks) and to only assign myself as many tasks as I think I can reasonably do while still allowing myself some free time.
I hope you will follow along with me on this journey to recapture a couple hours of my day for my own enjoyment.
